What Would Julie Do? are London’s go-to gang for musical theatre therapy.
They create and present uplifting musical theatre cabarets with their signature combination of witty parodies, gorgeous harmonies and using show tunes as self-help. What Would Julie Do? shows are performed by a 5 part vocal ensemble (our "Juliez") and accompanied by a live pianist. Each show has a new, varied programme of solos and ensemble numbers guaranteed to entertain; always guided by our guru, Dame Cardboard Julie Andrews.
